We’re not allowed to what?

No. Yarn. Okay– So my stepmom called me up and said, “Let’s go to the quilt show!”  And I said, “Will there be yarn?”  And she said, “Uhm, sure…” There was no yarn. No. Yarn. I repeat– a craft show with no yarn.   But, well, I used to quilt– I did.  It’s been a… Read More


Mate’s Journey

on March 18, 2014

On Sunday morning, we woke up and drove to Sacramento. The sky looked like this: When we arrived, we parked in Old Sacramento and walked from the Railroad Museum, across the bridge, and to Raley Field.  It was still gray outside, and the river looked like this: Mate went in to register, and then we… Read More


Sometimes I ask myself…

So You Think You Can Tell…

on March 9, 2014

I finished Beneath the Stain today, and popped out of the rabbit hole to discover: *  I had a hideous breakout on my face *  You can see my gray hair after too long between dye bottles *  My toenails look heinous *  The clothing I’d bought online in the wee frickin’ hours of the… Read More

*pounding heartbeat*

on March 1, 2014

Okay– so first, I’m going to remind you that on Monday, I totally pimp EVERYBODY ELSE’S WORK.  Tune in– there will be book covers and blurbs and buy links and people who are not (thanyajebusamen) ME!

Shut up and write!

on February 26, 2014

“Oh Mary, my Mary, what are you doing tonight?” “I’m trying to edit, and it’s sort of a fight!” “Wanna talk about Teen Wolf?  It was a delight!” “I know what you’re doing–don’t push me, all right?” “But my character’s ripping my heart out, it’s all tangled like–“ “I know– I wanna read it!  You… Read More
